The Oxygen Revolution

New York, NY: Stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, autism, learning disabilities – these are just a few of the diseases that are being successfully treated with the groundbreaking new treatment, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). In the first book for the general public about this astounding advance in medicine.
The Oxygen Revolution is the first book to explain the revolutionary significance of this life-saving treatment option. Author Paul G. Harch, M.D. brings to light the controversy about HBOT, the evidence for various uses; and provides key information about pursuing treatment to patients and their families, allowing them to make an informed decision about their treatment.
(Hatherleigh Press, $25.95), pioneer Dr. Paul G. Harch, offers hope for the sufferers of many “hopeless” diseases. Accepted for many years as the primary treatment for decompression sickness after diving, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is also being used to successfully treat a wide range of conditions where tissues have been damaged by oxygen deprivation. But, hyperbaric therapy has often been overlooked as a solution to many seemingly untreatable health problems by doctors and scientists alike.

Oxygen makes all of life possible. Our cells, muscles, tissues and vital organs require oxygen to regenerate and to keep our bodies healthy and stable. Without oxygen our brains suffocate and our bodies die. In The Oxygen Revolution, Dr. Paul G. Harch explains how and why hyperbaric oxygen therapy works as a treatment. Dr. Harch’s groundbreaking research and clinical trials show that this relatively simple and noninvasive treatment has the potential to help millions of Americans who suffer from brain injury or disease.

The Oxygen Revolution establishes the use of HBOT for:

• Brain injury and stroke
• Autism and other leaning disabilities
• Cerebral Palsy and birth injuries
• Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and other degenerative neurological diseases
• Emergency situations requiring resuscitation, such as cardiac arrest, carbon monoxide poisoning, or near drowning
• Improving inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and asthma
• Healing wounds, infections, and burns, and slowing the aging process

Doctors and scientific pioneers have been exploring the use of this therapy since the seventeenth century. Modern technology has given us a better understanding of why HBOT works, and allowed doctors to offer patients an effective treatment option and renewed hope. HBOT is approved by the FDA for several conditions and may even be covered by insurance. The Oxygen Revolution is the essential guide to understanding this simple, valuable treatment.
